    This was a good fight.

    Torres is a banger but Cotto was chinny as hell at 140.

    The move to 147 should have come earlier IMO.

    You've always been on that campaign. Cotto vs Margarito is a modern classic, but in terms of action and drama, Cotto vs Torres is certainly better.

    Yup .i think Cotto-Margo is overrated there's alot of fights better and this is one of them with the back and forth action,the knockdowns,the drama with Cotto going down and almost out and coming back to knock Torres out,just a tremendous fight.

    For Cotto was certainly better but for me its Cotto-Torres by far.

    Well, both of those fighters have a suspect chin, if Margarito had also a weak one, he would of been down a couple of times aswell.

    That was a great fight and this shows what a tough warrior in Cotto in which he was killing himself badly to make 140 pounds but still fought like a warrior and show it vs a dangerous puncher in Torres. I mean Damn Cotto was down more then once in that fight and was badly hurt but to came back and stop Torres was amazing.
